hey all..myself and dave went out at 7 30 this morn and managed 1 fish each..mine came
on the second cast and was taken on an sls17f which was slammed right under my feet and weighed 5lb 05oz.
this lure seems to be really doing the buisness for me so far this year..dave quinlan got his
fish about 25 minutes later and weighed in at 3lb and was taken on a feed shallow...we fished till 9 30am and were happy to go home with a fish each..
then tonight myself and mark b fished from 7 till 9 30..i took 2 3lbers on yet again the sls17f
and mark took one around the 4lb mark on a tide minnow....the sport seems to be really
improving down the west cork way as the days go by and it is only the first of may...fingers crossed for a cracking season ahead anyway....
tight lines to all...

well done michael on the fish im just back from west cork.i fell in love with the place i was scouting around mizen and baltimore and in between.some serious looking spots down there ill be back down that way in the summer.i was not fishing i just brought the kids down for a short break really nice.

Great stuff Michael, nice looking lure, how deep does it dive??

 

[Steve Lewis]

Brilliant work there guys keep it up !

 

[Tom H]

I live at the wrong end of are Island:sad: Good days sport that you lads got there...

 

[Danny Meagher]

Good stuff lads.

A good trip was had by the sound of it.

 

[micheal quirke]

it dives to about 3ft colm..

 

[micheal quirke]

it really is a beautifull place alright pat.we are so lucky to be living here..the west cork coast has got so much unexplored coastline that has never even seen a rod its kind of mindboggling..

 

[pat connolly]

michael its a special place allright i covered a lot of coast and i never saw one person with a rod.all them little islands and coves and the clarity of the water excellent place.

 

[Simon L]

Cracking trip there !!! Nice one !!! :clap:

They are starting to roll in now !!! Winter is starting to be a distant memory eh ?

 

[micheal quirke]

yes thank god simon...sport has really started to take off..and can only improve from here on in...this morn i nailed a mullet on a plug which was a strange catch...although i did nail one last year also where the fish had sucked the whole treble of a kiltylure down the back of the throat into the gills..thats the thing with fishing it always throws a surprise or 2..
